Irish-American angrily informs Irish people that they aren’t Irish enough

There’s nothing more Irish than… an angry American with Irish heritage telling Irish people that they’re not properly Irish because they don’t have a permanent pint of Guinness in their hands, and sometimes listen to British bands.

He fumes:

“I’m sick of you Irishmen telling us Irish-Americans what a real Irishman is. I’ve been to Cork and Dublin and you’re nowhere near as Irish as us in Boston and New York. In your bars I’ve witnessed you watching soccer games and listening to British bands, with not a pint of Guinness or an Irish Flag in sight. I think Ireland is too near to Britain, so come to Boston to be reminded of what being Irish is all about. It seems you’ve forgotten true Irish pride.”

Here is a wonderful term for this phenomenon.
